Yes - he got 50 Cent for it... Just kidding. No. You can not sell your soul to the devil. That's simply a literary way of saying that you give up something worthwhile in the future (e.g., your 'soul') for an immediate benefit now. It's possible the idea started with American bluesman Robert Johnson, who 'went down to the crossroads' to sell his soul to the Devil, in exchange for the skill to play the blues guitar and write songs.

The idea of selling your soul to the devil in order to gain something is only possible in a society that believes in what?
The idea of selling your soul to the devil requires belief the devil exists, then belief that the devil has the power to offer something of value in return. The crazy thing is that someone who believes the devil exists also believes that nothing that could ever be offered in this life would be worth an eternal price. In other words, the very notion of selling one's soul is no more than a myth. Wikipedia says a deal with the devil is a cultural motif, best exemplified by the legend of Faust. Wikipedia explains, "The person offers his or her soul in exchange for diabolical favours. Those favours vary by the tale, but tend to include youth, knowledge, wealth, fame, or power."In summary, it is only a Faustian myth that you can sell your soul to the devil, not an idea that has always existed in Christian societies.
